The left-back and offensive should always come

By Dennis Rink

MAINZ – Yoshinori Muto is practically gone. Pablo de Blasis and Giulio Donati are still there, but they want to leave. Not yet, there is the left-back and the offensive man flexible to come. The FSV Mainz 05 is in these days of preparation for the upcoming season a lot in the stream.

Muto will join Newcastle United. The Japanese striker is at the signing of the Premier League club. The 05er reported. "We had fruitful and constructive discussions with Newcastle United and we reached an agreement in principle," said Rouven Schröder, a member of the 05-Sport board of directors. "There are still some important details to clarify, but we are confident that we will soon arrive at a final transfer decision."

The clubs are largely in agreement on the terms of the contract, but there are still tedious formalities to be done. Therefore, the attacker will not return to Bruchweg even after the scheduled end of his World Cup vacation. The farewells of the Japanese, who have scored 20 goals in 66 Bundesliga games since joining FC Tokyo three years ago, have been speculating for some time. His contract expires in 2019. Now, the 05er still concedes transfer fees in the range of about ten million euros – a good deal. Mainz has thus taken almost 50 million euros thanks to the departure of Suat Serdar (10.5 million euros), Abdou Diallo (28 million euros) and now France. Muto – and it will not be the last transfer to the FSV account this summer,

Giulio Donati and Pablo de Blasis are still in training, but have already expressed their demands for change in public. But that does not mean that they train on call. "We would have a big problem if we were to see players desperate to leave and harm the group with their attitude," said 05 manager Sandro Schwarz. But as this is not the case, it is possible that Blasis and Donati go Sunday with a training camp in Austria. Black wants to decide on Saturday, who will be there. "For us, performance is really the criterion," said the coach. "We will not let anyone at home who behaves properly in the group – no matter how things might change." Blasis and Donati also had a big hand in the league last season. Of course, we will not forget that. "

Black will host two new players at the end of the transfer period.At least, this is the plan.We are looking for a left offensive and flexible player.The attention of the 05er in both positions is on the candidates who are able to go deep into the sprints. "These deep pbades are just right for our game," said Schwarz, who, of course, would like to have all of his sheep in the second camp. training to be able to work with them. "But we do not rush and do only something if the package is good," said the coach 05. Decisive is the end of the transfer phase. "The goal is to be able to watch the team after the end of the period and say how we imagined it. "

That his team be cheerful and tactical, as Black imagines he will be in the friendly match of the 05th Friday at 6.30 pm at the Bonn SC stadium against the second division 1. FC Cologne not ice. "This will be a real touchstone," Schwarz said. Because the relegated Bundesliga will be a week before the start of the season against VfL Bochum entirely in the juice. "It's their dress rehearsal, and for us, on the other hand, it's going to be about overcoming heat and fatigue with resilience," says the coach.
